Fukushima plant's backup generator failed in 1991The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant failed to take preventive measures after a backup generator was inundated by a leaking pipe 20 years ago. Former employees of the Tokyo Electric Power Company told NHK that the problem occurred in October 1991. They said water leaked from a pipe and entered the basement of the Number 1 reactor's turbine building. This caused the failure of one of the two backup generators. [ link to www3.nhk.or.jp] . Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1478654 I read this as well. You'd think that in 20 years they would have figured out it could be a problem and found another way.
